Before Start-up Unpack the Espresso machine carefully. Take out all the accessories and the packing material. Wash the accessories in a sink. To clean the device, carry out 2-3 complete cycles with clean water before brewing the first espresso. Proceed as described in item 1 to 8 of “Making an Espresso” without using espresso coffee though.

1. Connect the machine to a correctly installed 230 V, 50 Hertz safety socket.

2. Ensure that the on/off switch (O/I) (6) is in the O position.

3. Place the draining grid in the indentation of the draining tray.

4. Open the lid and remove the water tank by the handle.

5. Fill the required amount of fresh clear water into the tank.

6. Release the filter holder (10) by turning the handle to the left (INSERT).

7. Place the filter (12 or 13) into the filter holder (10). Now add one to two level

measuring spoons of coffee. Distribute the coffee evenly and press the coffee powder lightly with a measuring spoon or other spoon. The aim of pressing the coffee powder with the spoon is to distribute it evenly in the coffee bowl rather than compressing it. We recommend a flat surface plunger. Ensure that the fil- ter holder is firmly fixed in the percolating head.

8. In order to preheat your espresso cups, place them on the warming plate (2)

above the percolating head.

9. Switch the machine on using the on/off switch (O/I) (6). The control lamps (4+

5) located on the right and left in the function control light up.

10. When the water has reached the required temperature, the control lamp (5) on

the right-hand side (READY) switches off. Note: if the control lamp lights up again before percolation is finished, the water temperature is no longer high enough. Turn the function selection switch (3) to O and wait for the lamp to go out again. You can now continue preparing the espresso.

11. Remove the espresso cup(s) from the warming plate (2) and place them under

the percolating head.

12. Turn the function switch (3) to the symbol showing the espresso cup.

13. The espresso is now ready and is poured into the cup(s).

14. When percolation is finished, turn the function switch (3) back to the O position.

15. Switch the machine off using the on/off switch (O/I) (6).

16. After brewing wait for a few seconds before removing the filter.Turn the handle

of the filter holder from right to left. Pay attention to the steam! To remove the used coffee, hold the filter by using the special lever (11) on the handle in the relevant position. Turn the filter holder (10) and knock out the used coffee. Remove the filter holder (10) after making an espresso. By doing so, you will extend the service life of the rubber seal in the brewing head.To make other espressos, fill the coffee bowl (12 or 13) with coffee powder again and carry out the brewing procedure as described above.

and turn the function selector (3) to the left (Steam symbol).

volume, you can warm the milk more by lowering the steam nozzle (8) to the bottom of the container. Do not make the milk boil or the froth will be ruined.
